well, my 8 yr old has been playing a game on my computer. He went to youtube to watch a video to find out how to unlock something in his game and...now my computer is dead--all my patterns/photos gone.........so, do you back everything up? I should have but I'm not sure how to...thoughts??
I do a double back-up......I print hard copies, put them in plastic sleeves, and then in 3 ring binders. On my laptop, I REGULARLY (read that every week) do a backup onto an external hard drive. When you think of all of the $$$$ tied up in machine embroidery patterns, quilt patterns, e-books for machines, I cannot afford not to have everything backed up somewhere else. If my laptop crashed I would be out of a small fortune.
